My week so far!

Hasn't this week been so weird? Today is Thursday but it feels like a Friday but also a Wednesday at the same time? Anyways - at least this week has been going by quite nicely. My parents are in town - always great when they are here, I love them!

On Monday night after work, my sister and I met up with our childhood friend who is now married and has a beautiful baby! She is five years older than me and she was basically like my older sister when I was growing up until her family moved away! So happy she is back from Mexico now and we can see each other more since she only lives an hour away!

we went to Cowfish - one of my favorite restaurants in Charlotte - always GREAT food & they have amazing sushi - I forgot to take a picture but I got a spicy salmon roll with brown rice and avocado!

I have developed a serious addiction to Brussels sprouts! OT but I have been calling them brussle sprouts for my whole life - but I guess the correct name is in fat Brussels sprouts! We just saute them in EVOO & a little bit of sea salt - they come out amazing - I think I had like 25 on my own yesterday. We have been sticking with our clean eating for the most part (cheated a little last Sunday with sweet potato fries) - the only thing I haven't given up is wine - not every night obviously but a couple times a week is fine! I always say this every time I am strict with my diet, but you can tell a difference after the first week. Along with hitting the gym 4-5 times a week - it is very effective! Like I said in my New Year resolutions post, I am not going to kill myself over it - I want to go about this in a very healthy way mentally and physically.

yummy tilapia and sprouties!

night time necessities! Dior's creme de rose lip balm, Almond body butter (SLATHER IT ALL OVER YOUR BODY), and some fun reading! :)
